Ranting about being visibly physically disabled

I wear an AFO leg brace for my drop foot, it's not to 'hide' my disability, it's to ensure that I don't drag my foot, causing severe pain, pressure, and falls. For my safety and improving my quality of life.

I don't do physical therapy so I can seem more normal by learning to jump and jog and go up stairs without a railing, I do it for the betterment of my physical health, if I needed to save a child from being kidnapped, if my little nephew was in danger.

I'm not getting a diagnosis of cerebral palsy so I feel validated, I'm doing it because of my physical therapist saying I definitely have spastic ataxic cerebral palsy and telling me I should get an MRI EEG and gait analysis so I can get support I need.

When I wear a wrist brace my my left hand at night, I don't do it to mask my arm contracture, I do it so I don't develop a hand contracture with my current spasticity.

The things I do to help my physical are not to hide it, it's to HELP it. I'm proud of my disabled self, I'm not trying to hide it. With my AFO brace the only gait visible left is my ataxic gait, which I can't physically change like my foot drop or spastic arm. I'm still disabled even with braces and splints and AFO's.

there's a lot of talk about joint pain in chronic illness communities which like fair, it hurts like a bitch. but shoutout to my fellow spoonies who are painfully incapacitated by things like muscle spasticity and nerve compression. just because people can't see red, swollen, dislocated, or malformed joints doesn't make your pain not real. and extra shoutout to spoonies who deal with all these types of pain, because i know how hard it makes things.

PSA: Please for the love of God stop using the word "cretin". It's a slur for people born with congenital hypothyroidism (CHT, that used to be called cretinism) that causes physical and intellectual disability.

I think it's unrealistic to expect a blanket moratorium on insults about intelligence, but words like "mong/mongoloid" (anti-Asian slur later applied to people with Down Syndrome), "spaz", "downie", "midget" and "cretin" refer to people born with specific developmental disorders. If you care enough not to use the "r–word", please steer clear of these as well.

#please reblog #looking at you RWRB fandom #one of the movie's many crimes is how often I now have to see this word in fics #I'll never forget a mother thanking me for tweeting this a few years ago because her daughter with CHT cries whenever she hears it #ableism #ableist slurs #ableist language #disability #congenital hypothyroidism #down syndrome #dwarfism #spasticity #cerebral palsy #disabled lives matter #intellectual disability #writing tips #rwarb #rwrb movie #knee of huss

Cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injuries, among other disabilities, can involve spasticity. People often have day-to-day

"Cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injuries, among other disabilities, can involve spasticity. Your muscles might feel stiff and you might have to focus a lot of energy to move them. You might also experience spasms and pain as well. People often have day-to-day coping mechanisms to help manage their spasticity, but what do you do when you have spasticity and want to have sex⁠?"

Right knee was awful yesterday. It's a bit better now, but yesterday it was aching so badly and right above our knee something kept on contracting, then spasming over and over, and then stopping... and then repeat that over and over for nearly the whole day. So odd how our body simply hates itself.

My hand

Sometimes my hand doesn’t want to do things. I think of it as my hand having a fit like a toddler or brat. When I have this happens my hand is having a “cramp” and is very stiff. It’s the spastic part of my CP. I take Gaba(pentin) when this happens and it gets better after a few moments. CP In My Mind/Lines & Roses | Instagram | Linktree Leave a comment Cancel reply Δ
